Dr John Cooper Clarke

Britain's best loved performance poet comes to the Swindon Arts Centre

 

Arts Centre, Swindon

Monday 10 April 2017, 8.00pm

  

Britain’s best loved and most important performance poet. John is as vital now as he was in the 70s; his biting, satirical, political and very funny verse, delivered in a unique rapid-fire performance style, resonated with the punk movement. JCC toured with all the seminal bands: The Sex Pistols, The Clash and Buzzcocks, and in the USA with Elvis Costello. He began to draw large crowds in his own right. Joy Division were proud to frequently support JCC and New Order later opened for him on their first Australian tour.

His latest show, touring across the world, is a mix of classic verse, extraordinary new material, hilarious ponderings on modern life, good honest gags, riffs and chat—a chance to witness a living legend at the top of this game.

 
John will be joined by special guest and rising poetry star, Luke Wright.

 

Tickets: £21.00 - £26.00
